There is no tmp/restart.txt file in Rails app

Question

I use Passenger to start my Rails app, but after I started Nginx, Rails app works fine, but I can't find any restart.txt file under tmp dir.

Is it to be created automatically by Passenger or manual? If automatically why doesn't it exist?

Answer 1

You have to create it yourself when you want the application to restart. To do that run in a command line:

touch tmp/restart.txt
